Are you ready for a month of rainbow capitalism?
It's June (better known to global LGBTQ+ community as Pride Month!) and that means that we're all being inundated with a wave of rainbow flags, empowering messages, and (probably most prominent) images and ads from brands offering so much Pride-themed merch. But not all of it is created equal!
During Pride, some companies seek to only profit off the idea that they are "allies," but more and more companies are collaborating with queer artists and designers and using money to actually support LGBTQ+ organizations.
These products actually do something to benefit the LGBTQ+ community other than just giving us another option of rainbow socks or mugs to buy.
Scroll through to see which Pride products actually give back to the LGBTQ+ community this month, and keep checking back as we update throughout the month of June.
